to be fair that sleep/suspend issue is with any amd cpu running kvms.

I have a desktop system with a newish amd cpu and had the same issues as discussed on the github issue.

I would be very carefull with saying your are gdpr compliant without having talked to laywer.

Your are basically replacing a unique identifying attribute(ip address) with a unique attribute and a maybe unique attribute, to generate a unique attribute.

The problem is not the ip address, the problem with analytics is that your want to count unique visitors but are not allowed to track any properties of the visitor that are unique and hence a protected property of the visitor per the gdpr.

Wouldn't it be hard as soon as people exchange that money in non traceable areas?

E.g. people gift money on birthdays, people buy things in private sales, etc.

Edit: overlooked your last part about intermediates you are right

To add to that, public transport based on trains is and always will be a source of noise, even if they are purely electrical

imho the biggest problem with all the new snapdragon laptops is that all ram is soldered on, because the new chips don't support slotted ram.

What did you dislike about kotlin multiplattform?

You can also use WebTransport with streams for tcp and datagramms for udp https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebTranspor...

>It doesn't make sense to tally someone's investments as them polluting. If they sell half their investment, the pollution emissions on earth don't go down.

No but your income depends on pollution happening and you investing in X company enables that company to raise cash to keep on polluting or in worst case start polluting.

depends on the system, austria for example used to say if you don't have a radio or tv you do not need to pay.

As of 2024 you pay even if you have no tv, which means the overhead is probably near zero, as you already have lists of where people live.

Teslas numbers have biases in them which paint a wrong picture:

They compare incomparable data(city miles vs highway miles), autopilot is also mostly used on higways which is not where most accidents happen.

One of the main issues I had when I tried to do an app in react native was not really the UI,performance or data.

The main problem was that you where in an uncanny vally type of situation where some browser features where supported and some nodejs(?) features but never the right ones.

So you now had to write 3 different apps(web,ios,android,electron(?)) with all the problems of react/js while not having the wealth of libraries and batteries included benefit of a browser

E.g. crypto.subtle was not available, so forget anything with encryption running in react native and on the web without separate libraries.

So my question is how do you solve the problem that react native loses many of the benefits of using a webview type framework?

but you can provide that JVM for different plattforms in a zip file/installer.

The more difficult problem with cross plattform apps are always native look and feel and calling native apis in an idiomatic and performant ways.

My guess is that People travel way more than in the last 50 years and department stores have nothing to do with experiencing a diverse life.

Running and owning your own infrastructure exposed to the outside world can be more insecure, running your own infrastructure at home in segmented networks with wireguard will solve most problems.

I'm not sure I agree, I think you forget web developers.

I think today the only reason to need to know linux is actually backend dev and embedd in the sense of small pcs with custom uis.

With the amount SaaS today most of the backend services can be bough, so that also lowers the amount of developers who need to know linux.

shift+ctrl+c is for copying from terminal, shift+ctrl+v for inserting, if you still need to know.

The reason is that linux and the terminal is old and ctrl+c sends a signal(SIG_INTERRUPT) which is used to cancel the current process.

That means for better or worse you can't change these shortcuts without inconveniencing existing users and that means these shortcuts will stay.

That aside I don't think cmd and powershell on windows allow str+c and str+v?

I said that linux mostly works out of the box, but your "edge cases" where in this case:

All lenovo yoga x1 models from the 8. gen onwards with windows preinstalled e.g. over 2 years

All lenovo carbon x1 models from the 10. gen onwards with windows preinstalled e.g. over 3 years

I'm pretty sure it also affects all newer hp and dell models since at least ~2023

It's great that your choice of laptops are never the ones that are broken, but then again, I never said linux never works.

Even if you set aside the webcam problem, the lenovo laptops who where always called out for their good linux support had problems:

The 2016 yoga x1 model couldn't get to sleep (s3i problem which many laptops had) and if it good back from sleep it need a special command to reconnect trackpad and trackpoint.

There where some special patches to make it work and after about a year it worked, still not a possibility for non technical people

The 2016 thinkpad x1 carbon gen. 6 model sometimes needs a special command to reconnect the trackpad and trackpoint, think that got fixed after ~3 years.

Neither of theses devices have a working fingerprint sensor, I can't even think of one that works with linux

Neither of these devices had a supported mobile (lte) modem, as the built in modem wasn't supported and you can't change it because the bios has only whitelisted the preinstalled model.

The new s3i sleep modus also made it impossible for linux laptops to sleep for about a year until it was fixed.

Did all of this get better over time?

Yes

Will every big new hardware thing still mean that some linux things are broken for some time?

Yes

Again, linux works for most of the hardware most of the time, but this will bite you when you expect certain things or devices to work.

Friend of mine got a new laptop which i recommended without looking closely on the specs, as it was listed as supported on ubuntu a lenovo yoga x 11 gen I think.

Found out afterwards that the version with windows preinstalled(that the friend bought, because of the cheap windows licence that maybe needed) comes with a special mipi camera from intel with ipu6 out-of-tree driver that only supports specific kernels and specific distros and while there are packages for ubuntu I couldn't get it to work.

Linux works if you don't buy the wrong hardware, windows works on any bought hardware.

I'm not against linux and I use it and most of the time it works out of the box, but this "most of the time" will bite you when you stop looking at specific reviews and driver support and just buy a laptop.

External webcams are no problem, agreed.

New-ish laptops with intel tiger lake procesors use MIPI cameras with ipu6 and don't work out of the box or only on specific kernel/distro combos.

There are efforts to mainline the driver and it is better than 2 years ago but still a big step backwards[1]

There ie the rockchip CM3588 NAS Kit but it is a non mainstream CPU which cost between 200-300€:

there is also the asustor nas: https://www.asustor.com/de/product?p_id=80

If you just need a single nvme SSD you could also buy a banana pi 3 Router:

Edit: forgot links and product

Either pay another full time night shift or yes, accept that things are broken for the time.

If your product is really so important that it can't be down, hire more engineers and pass the markup to your customers.

I'm glad I live in the country where you have to have 11 hours between end of work and start of work(except for special cases afaik).

probably because synthetic sounds/is chemical and the producer wants to also market this to the "only natural products are good" crowd which probably has an overlap with people who are vegan.

Wouldn't a strongly typed language like rust sill catch a bad datafile?

E.g. loading it would require you to setup a maximal size and a valid configuration struct?

meh passwords where a good idea for a long time.

The first 10(20?) years there where no devices without a good keyboard.

The big problem imho was the idea that passwords had to be complicated and long, e.g. a random, alpanumeric, some special chars and at least 12 characters long, while a better solution would have been a few words.

Edit: To be clear I agree with most of your points about passwords, just wanted to point out that we often don't appreciate how much tech changed after the smartphone introduction and that for the environemnt before that (computer/laptops) passwords where a good choice.

Shouldn't same system+same version+same flags produce the same result?

Interesting, In my country that also seems to be illegal, e.g. cold calling can never be a valid reason(without consent).

https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/NormDokument.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnor...

Edit:clarified never

They can contact you for legitimate reasons, which could be "hey, your website has content from me that is copyrighted" they can't contact you for sales reasons without your consent.

The law for that, at least in my country, is very clear: https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/NormDokument.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnor...

Curious, do you mean in business to business?

Otherwise I don't think you can argue any legitimate interest.

No it is not allowed to cold call or send any emails without express permission from the recipient this is for austria/germany.

It seems that with the gpdr this is now eu wide:

https://gdpr.eu/email-encryption/

It's funny that in this case the law now protects you.

Generally anything you do indoor that falls under normal usage(painting walls, hanging furniture with big screws,etc.) is ok without approval, at least in my country/city(austria) and the land lord can't deny any of this and is not even required to be notified.

As you would have an open window and a not so noise machine running this would be ok, but energy efficiency is quite bad and you lose the benefits of the thermal insulation of your building.
